however, once i configured it to include a 3 year warranty as well as the hard drive and memory offered by the multimedia bookstore dell, i was looking at a $3000+ computer and it wouldn't even have a complete warranty.

so, i've decided to buy the multimedia dell from the bc bookstore. i think i'm going to place my order today

well, as of right now, i am leaning towards the bookstore computer because it seems like a good deal and i love the complete warranty. i've always been a mac girl so i feel clueless in my attempts to comparative shop among pcs.

however, the consensus seems to be that dells are pretty crappy computers, so i've been investigating ibms as well as the pcs from that company you recommended in cambridge, pcsforeveryone.

thanks for the input, i didn't know that a complete warranty was also available if i purchased dirctly through dell! a 15 in screen would be nice, but if i buy a dell i will probably go with the bookstore just because the price is so great.

lol...i probably need the complete warranty...i spilled a glass of water on my laptop once during undergrad and the keyboard broke. i just told the tech guys that the keyboard *mysteriously* stopped working and they fixed it under my warranty

thank you! i am SO happy. my numbers are 166, 3.03, with 4 years of unique work experience.good luck to everyone who is still on the list...i hope that you get in prof. kingsfield!!!thanks again for your congratulations

I still haven't heard anything (and neither have any of the bc pwlisted posters on xoxohth)

i called yesterday and the woman i spoke with said that they were just starting to review pwl files and that selected candidates should start to hear sometime in the next 2 weeks. she was polite but abrupt and did not even give me the opportunity to identify myself.

i wouldn't worry too much yet b/c it seems as though only one person received a call and rumor has it that bc was short on their projected deposits this year...
